If you are going to paint a helmet, make ABSOLUTELY!!! sure that the paint is compatible with the plastic the helmet is made from. I ran into this problem many years ago when I was MB racing; I had a nice black, Italian, hardshell helmet, that a friend painted for me with a stunning montage of skulls (OK, it WAS the mid '80's) the paint reacted with the helmet plastic; slung it on the bars one day soon after, it TAPPED! the frame, and shattered! :
